The B was defeated by no other team but their own A, score 4-0. Anna Peckis of 8B2 captained the A, while Margaret Hamberry of 9B5 captained the B. Both teams fought to the end with the same good' old spirit of Gwynns Falls. The A Team played the winners of the two other districts, Roland Park and Number 76, the defending champions for six years. They met Roland Park at Druid Hill, with a score of 0-0, and Number 76 at Clifton when our forward line failed to make a successful tally. The final score was in 76's favor, 2-0. This is our second year in the game and we'll iight again next year to break through the seven- year champion's goal. We have not given up, though defeated, as thirteen of the two teams will be on hand next year. TEAMS A. Davis-H. Fitscher -. R.W. ............... Diomede H. Noblitt-V. Bailey R.I. -. G. Elliott-P.

june 1931 GWYNNONIA 39 THE GWYNNS FALLS BASKETBALL TEAMS Gwynns Falls has two teams, the A team and the B. The B team was excellent this year. They came out undefeated in their section, although there were no deciding games. The players of the B team are as follows: jane Wolf, forward, captain Margaret Hamberry, forward Alice Kefauver, center Josephine Diomede, side center Genevieve Watkins, substitute, side center Elizabeth Bachman, guard Grace Shillaci, guard Audrey Woods, guard jane Canter, substitute guard The A team won the district championship en- titling them to play the other two districts. Gwynns Falls outscored its foes in nearly every game and won its fourth consecutive basketball title in the junior high class. The deciding game was played between Gwynns Falls and their old rival, Clifton Park junior High School in the gym- nasium of School Number 76. The game was most exciting and interesting. Only three fouls were committed during the whole game. The cap- tain, Louise Harrell, assisted by her forward, Nancy Hall, made the highest score of the game. The defense played a very good game. The score was 38-22. Here's hoping that these girls, who won that famous city championship, will be just as good sports at Western High School. The line-up of the winning team is as follows: Louise Harrell, forward, captain Nancy Hall, forward Virginia Firebaugh, forward Shirley Brizendine, center Doris Thomas, substitute center Nladeline Groszer, substitute side center Eleanor Joyner, guard Katherine Kenny, guard Virginia Bailey, guard Miss Peters is to be complimented on her ex- cellent supervision of the games. THE GIRLS' WINTER CARNIVAL On March 7, 1931, the Girls' Winter Carnival was held at the Fifth Regiment Armory. Thous- ands of girls competed and it certainly looked like there were going to be some hard fights for the different teams if they wished to win. The bal- conies were packed to overflowing with devoted mothers and fathers who had come to see their children win. The girls formed their teams and lined up for the parade around the floor. The Evening Sun Band led the way and it certainly was a very pretty sight to see the girls keeping time to the music with their feet as they marched. After the parade was over the games began. On one side of the fioor was seen the volley ball courts and in the opposite corner were the dodge ball circles. Shrieks of laughter and joy were to be heard all over the place and proclaimed to the spectators that the girls certainly were enjoying themselves. Out of all the different teams, such as volley ball, dodge ball, all-up relay, shuttle, and flag race, we were very happy to say that we had five teams come out in the lead. Gwynns Falls was very proud to be able to say that she came out first of all the junior highs and fourth out of all the schools that competed, having scored thirty points. Miss Johnson and Miss Peters are to be con- gratulated on their splendid coaching. THE VOLLEY BALL TEAM Our volley ball team will again endeavor to win the city championship. If we are successful, this will be our fourth consecutive victory. Last year we defeated Forest Park High School at Clif- ton Park in two games, the scores of which were 25-'5 and 18-7. Our championship team of last year has now transferred their sportsmanship to Western. They were: First line players-Katharine Rine, Eileen Schaeffer, Hilda Wheeler. Second line players-Mildred Miller, Edna March, Alma Hoffman. Back-Elizabeth Bennett, Dorothy Snelling. This year our games come too late to record in our Year Book anything but hope for their suc- cess. HEAVY-WEIGHT PLAYGROUND BALL TEAM When the call for candidates for the play- ground ball team was issued, the entire squad of the city championship basketball team responded. The boys look as well on the ball field as they do on the basketball court, for they all have secured regular positions on the team. Here, are the posi- tions they are filling: Bloom, catcher Topel, shortstop Adler, pitcher Davison, first base Miller, left Held Berlin, third base Shapiro, right field The other members of the team are: Strumwater, second base Goetz, shortstop 'Wolfe, center field Talesnick, Gammerman, Shon, Medinger,

The game was score- less until in the extra period Oliver Roberts of 9A5 kicked the winning point and the team played a defensive game until the final whistle.
